SCHOOL FEES
We have managed to identify over 150 serious orphans aged 3 to 8 years who cannot go to Early Childhood Development Centres (ECD). Though they are living with their guardians mostly grandmothers, they need very urgent attention to help take them to schhol, provide nutrition and clothing. That is estimated to take $50 per month on every child excluding medication.
My greatest humble appeal to you is “PLEASE SPONSOR ONE CHILD”.
CLEAN WATER STORAGE TANK
1. CLEAN WATER STORAGE TANK The greatest problem in this village is clean drinking water. The nearest clean Drinking water is available 8km away down hill. The expectant mothers, the sick, the aged and the old cannot easily access this water and as a result continue to use contaminated water. Here, a water swamp is shared by domestic, wild animals and human beings a like. During rainy seasons, water can be stored in storage (septic) tanks which can last for the whole year depending on the size of the tank. It is in this regard that i am appealing personally to you, my reader, to kindly join hands with me and donate or help fund a water tank.
Water is Life !
2. POWER GENERATOR
This is our second problem. Nearly all members in this village can be found free only at night, evennings. During day time, it is water search spree while the rest look after animals and others to market centres in search of food and children gone to school.
It is very easy to meet these people at night to evangelize, teach, train , counsel, etc. And this can work if we have a power generator.
One small generator costs here $1000. Depending now on what the Lord can offer.
TESTIMONIALS
1. SALOME AGE: 38
She is not a teen. She has been married nine times and in all her marriages, child barennes is the cause. I mean she cannt give birth to a child.
In her last marriage two years ago, she was kicked out of her house by all the family members of the inlaws, all her things were thrown away.
In this culture, barenness is bad luck and bad omen to the society. Such a woman must be kicked out disgracefully and the husband undergoes rituals to cleanse himself then is remarried to another one.
When she narrated to me her story over and over, i cried with her. I took her to a girl’s domestic training school where she has been learning Tailoring , Dressmaking, Health Care, Business Education and Health Science.
She is in her final year now but unfortunately, we cannot afford her fees now. She was sent back home and has been there at home for the last three months. If you are willing to give a hand in this , it is $1450 for her to complete. We would also like to buy for her a sewing machine in which she can start living a single life with. That cost $359. With this we are confident she can take care of her old mother and her brothers two sons . Her brother died of Aids Ten Years ago.
I will be glad if you pray with me in this issue. When we took her to the college, her people did not well come that. They are now mistreating her and that could lead her back to the street life of prostitution.
